January 9, 2007, Greencastle, Ind. - "It's important for little girls to grow into emotionally, academically and economically self-reliant women," says Meryl Altman, professor of English and faculty development coordinator at DePauw University. Dr. Altman is quoted in a story in Singapore's Straits Times on the "princess complex," which the newspaper's Suzanne Sng writes, "afflicts women who are waiting to be swept off their feet by a gallant, well-born and handsome man, not unlike Cinderella in the fairy tale."
